| 341319 | 2005-04-04 00:51:00 | I'm having a problem i'm hoping someone can help me out with . I've just built a new pc, and i'm quite disappointed with the results i'm getting from it . Let me list my pc, and my problem . . . ASUS A8N DELUX, nforce4 SLI mobo AMD 64, fx-55 @ 2 . 6 GHZ 1 GB Giel Ultra Ram, pc3200 Dual channel TWO Nvidia 6800 Ultra's in SLI mode one Raptor 10,000 74GB HDD Latest drivers/forceware from nvidia --- The problem: Low Frames per second Low Benchmarks from 3dmark05 I know the pc is running in sli, and i've even turned on the load balance screen while in games to check it out . The problem is: Running DOOM 3 Ultra (OR) High Quality mode 16X or no Antial ALL options turned to high i pull in a small 40-50 FPS Also, in benchmarks i'm getting 9,545 I did some reading, and i've found that i should be getting way over 60 fps easily in doom 3, and i should be getting 10,000 or more in 3dmark05, but i'm not . is there something i'm missing? i hope someone can help me out! Thanks! |

| 341322 | 2005-04-04 01:55:00 | you could try the looking atblackviper (www.blackviper.com) he shows you how to turn off all the background crap I would be interested if anybody has done any of his recomendations?? |

| 341324 | 2005-04-04 03:36:00 | These services take up so little resouces you would be hard presed to notice any difference. I would be interested in seeing a before and after benchmark, My money would be that there would be no difference. |

| 341325 | 2005-04-04 03:39:00 | I always turn off unnecessary services . e . g . server - service, who needs to access my PC . Remote registry etc . etc . |

| 341326 | 2005-04-04 03:40:00 | Have you installed the latest Nforce chipset drivers? You can find them here (www.nvidia.com) Also note that most games are not yet optimised to take advantage of SLI technology |

| 341327 | 2005-04-04 03:56:00 | . . . ASUS A8N DELUX, nforce4 SLI mobo AMD 64, fx-55 @ 2 . 6 GHZ 1 GB Giel Ultra Ram, pc3200 Dual channel TWO Nvidia 6800 Ultra's in SLI mode one Raptor 10,000 74GB HDD Latest drivers/forceware from nvidia i pull in a small 40-50 FPS Also, in benchmarks i'm getting 9,545 I did some reading, and i should be getting 10,000 or more in 3dmark05, So heres mine . A8N Deluxe 3500+ 64 1Gb Legend DDR400 - not dual 80GB IDE Seagate 1 ASUS 6600 (no SLI, no GT, etc - the vanilla one) Beta Nvidia driver . (which did help a bit) 3D Mark 05= 2189 Now I didn't overclock either the CPU or card . The score with the latest (not beta) card driver was 2023 . Don't believe everything you're told about scores unless its provable . Yours is fine . And even if someone did get a bit more than you, so what - what games are you having trouble running? None, I bet . Your system is seriously cool . Theres various factors that can affect it slightly - like note the difference when I chnaged drivers . Plus these benchmarkers are often tweaked to skew results - ATI vs Nvidia competition . . . What I noted on the actual 3D mark score website (on the "true" ones - my CPU or CPU/board combo, whatever - beat a lot of other systems, who got an overall higher score . The card lets mine down . But for now its ok, its not like I can't play HalfLife 2 full everything . . . I'll chnage it sometime but haven't made up my mind whther to do the SLI thing like yours or just to get an X850XT . Never had an ATI yet, so I'm edging towards it . . . Go look at Toms Hardware - the PCI-E 3dMark 05 scores there, certainly nothing wrong with yours at all . |
